How do I know if hand or wrist surgery is right for me?

Most people with musculoskeletal and arthritis-related problems in their hands or wrists won't need surgery. The orthopedic surgeons at Newport Orthopedic Institute may recommend surgery for a number of reasons, in addition to restoring proper function. The decision whether to operate or not will depend on if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Congenital (present at birth) deformities
• Infections
• Pain or loss of function
• Trauma to the hand or wrist
• Your response to other non-surgical treatments (medication, splinting and physical therapy)
